2014 NASCAR Cup Series champion Kevin Harvick is having a time of his life as a broadcaster and part-time racer, since retiring from the sport in 2024. He is enjoying the time he gets to spend with his family, his son’s racing career and his own late model racing ventures. Now it seems the ex-SHR driver is looking to experience anther venture.

In the latest episode of his podcast, Kevin Harvick admitted that he is looking to experience IndyCar’s mainstay, the Indy 500. He is hopeful that he gets to experience the race in person, as he hasn’t been able to do it over decades because of it coinciding with his NASCAR races. So, he is determined to cherish that experience as he is free that week.

When you look at the Indy 500 and everything that comes with the Indy 500, that is an experience from the open wheel side of that, that hopefully I get to experience this year. I don’t have anything to do that weekend, so I’d love to experience what heaven might be like.

Kevin Harvick said via Happy Hour podcast.

Since Harvick is 48 years old and way past his racing prime, it is highly unlikely that he is looking to race in the 2025 event. He will most probably come into Indy 500 either as a fan or as a broadcaster, which many motorsports’ fans will really enjoy.

Kevin Harvick criticizes Denny Hamlin for his poor form

From the start of the 2025 season, Kevin Harvick has been betting on Denny Hamlin to win the championship. But now he is regretting the choice as the No:11 team is struggling in the playoffs; the cars aren’t fast enough at the moment and the teams seems out of sync.

It just doesn’t seem like they’re hitting on all eight cylinders to be able to capitalize on everything. And a lot of that is for whatever reason, it could be a number of things, right. It could be all the things happening outside the racetrack for Denny. It could be that the cars aren’t as fast. But they definitely aren’t as good as they were at the beginning of the year.

Denny Hamlin said.

The ex-champion seems less hopeful of seeing the Joe Gibbs Racing driver getting into the championship-4 and win the title he has desperately chasing since his debut. It will be interesting to see how the Toyota driver playout perform in the coming events.
